Dah sampai kampung…almost/Perspectives on Death

I came past some tragic news on Bulletin Utama on TV3 for the past few days. The Ops Sikap 17, in my opinion, did no good at all for lowering the Malaysian car accident statistics. The numbers of accidents and death have increased. I’ve seen Malaysians drive. I’ve been in a car with one of [...]

le Française

People wonder why I’m so ardently in love with the French. I’m not quite sure myself. I suppose it’s mostly the language itself more than the country. And the people too. If you speak English to them, they won’t reply, they’ll just answer you back in French but oh yeah they’ll help you no matter [...]

Snippet

Balik Kampung.

Being back home for 6 days was more than anything I’ve always wanted. Just to be there before you face the turning point of your life (that blasted exam) meant a whole lot to me, and since it was Ramadhan, it was a bonus. We spent our breaking fast just sitting down, surrounding the [...]

Anwar, where’s your 16th September?

After 24 hours of waiting, I have concluded that…

UMNO is still the leading party of Malaysia
Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is still (sadly) Prime Minister of Malaysia
BN is still ruling over Malaysia
Anwar Ibrahim has lied to the rakyat
Anwar Ibrahim has disappointed me (I was rather hoping for more drama today, imagined Anwar storming into Pak Lah’s office)
Anwar [...]

Operasi Kemas

1.

Yesterday, Phase 1 of ‘Operasi Kemas’ (Operation Packing up) was COMPLETE! I must say it was maddening, having to sort out the clothers and even filtering them, which passed, which failed, which ones would stay and which ones would go. I had, over the past few days, ten+ clothes piled up on the chair by [...]

And they say Santa doesn’t exist…

Frankly, I’ve never been this angered before when it comes to UMNO-related issues.

NAMPAKNYA kerajaan begitu giat berkempen bagi menjayakan sambutan ‘50 Tahun Kemerdekaan Negara’ tahun lalu. Kini kempen itu kian suram. Tiada gerakkan yang menyanggah atau [...]

Tiresome Sunday

Sunday refused to let me wake up. It was 9 am and my eyes opened for a minute, alarmed by Natasha’s Mourir Demain blasting through the speakers of my phone. My eyes were adjusting to the intensity of that bloody sunray that flooded the room through the small window on the southern purple wall. Natasha [...]

Face it, you’re as racist as I am.

It’s pretty much immature, to be yelling out ‘SUDAH LAH!’ (enough already!) to our seniors who constantly constantly talk about racial discrimination and shooting off racist comments not just to each other but also to the nation. It’s pretty childish to want Malaysia to be this fairytale land where all races go together in perfect [...]

MARC JACOBS LOVE

1.

Je’dore et Je’taime Marc Jacobs. I love the way he smiles. His voice. His habitual fidgeting. His clothes. His creations. Those words that come out of that loveeeely mouth of his. Yes I love everything about the man since the start. Alas! And God created gay fashion designers for us women to not grab a [...]

Oh McCain…You’ve done it again!

When John McCain elected Sarah Palin as VP, I thought he was joking, so much that I choked on the fuming hot chocolate I was drinking by the coffee table. I bet many Americans and Alaskans were too. It’s bad enough they call Obama ‘Obama bin Biden‘ in synonyms with Osama bin Laden.
